IMPROVEMENT IN CUFF-HLDERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 144,101, dated October2B, 1873 5 application iled October 6, 1873. y

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE W. JAMES, of Jersey Oity, in the county ofHudson and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and ImprovedCuff-Holder; and that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription ofthe same, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawingsand to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of thisspecification.

This invention has for its object a device for retaining the shirt-cuffto the interior of the sleeve of a coat; and the invent-ion consists inan elastic clamp attached to theA inside of a coat-sleeve, and retainingthe shirt-cuit in position, substantially in the manner hereinafterdescribed.

In the accompanying sheet of drawings, Figure l represents acoat-sleeve, a part of which is torn away, showing the application of myinvention; and Fig. 2 is a sectional View of a coat-sleeve and cuff, andedge view ot' holder, showing its operation.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts in the several gures.

A represents a coat-sleeve, and B a shirt-cuff. On the inside of thecoat-sleeve A is worked a small eyelet or loop, a. My cuff-holder G,composed of steel or other suitable elastic material, is formed byfolding the steel over,

The upper half oi' the clamp has formed upon its under side a boss orprojection, c. The under half of the holder O is inserted into the loopor eyelct a worked in the sleeve of the coat, and the edge of theshirt-cuff B is clamped between the upper and lower part-s. of theholder, as shown in Figs. l and 2, the boss c tending to moreeftectually hold the cuff in position.

This clamping, it will be found, will hold the shirt-cuff B within thesleeve of the coat, so that said cuff may be adjusted to project anydistance below the coat-sleeve, or be retained within it, as desired;or, upon taking oif the coat, the hand may be withdrawn through thecuff, and the cuff will remain in the sleeve of the coat undisturbed.

By means of my cuit-holder, as described, the cuffs can be kept cleanand smooth, and out of the way when the wearer thereof is einployed inwriting.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

The cuff-holder consisting of the spring-plate O and boss c, constructedsubstantially as described and shown.
